Bioethics in Cultural Contexts: Reflections on Methods and Finitude

May 10, 2010 By biotech-source.com Leave a Comment

Product Description
This book discusses a range of methodological issues for an interdisciplinary bioethics. How can bioethics be an enterprise that does not only isolate issues and moral reasons but also (re)contextualises them What are the strengths and weaknesses of different traditional and innovative modes of ethical work in terms of these tasks?

By introducing the term “finitude” in the sense of limits of human existence, limits of human knowledge and knowledge capacity, a difference was set in the cultural apprehension of medicine. Is medicine aimed at overcoming our existential limits: to fight diseases and prolong life Finitude reintroduces the existential and cultural basis on which every medicine (limits-sensitive or off-limits medicine) depends, but it concerns also ethical judgment. An apprehension of the limitations of different ethical approaches to biomedicine, however, could strengthen the collaborative effort of an interdisciplinary bioethics that embraces also cultural studies and social sciences.

Hypoxia and the Circulation

May 9, 2010 By biotech-source.com Leave a Comment

Product Description

The hypoxia volumes will focus on cutting edge research at the interface of hypoxia and biomedicine. Hypoxia is a constant threat to the human body and its vital organs throughout life. There are many situations in which the threat is heightened in health and disease, but mechanisms have evolved to lessen its detrimental effects.

The International Hypoxia Symposia was founded to enable scientists, clinicians, physiologists, immunologists, mountaineers and other interested individuals to share their experiences of the situations associated with oxygen lack and the adaptations that allow us to survive.

The mission of the International Hypoxia Symposia is to present cutting edge, sophisticated research at the very highest levels into the many effects of hypoxia on humans and animals in health and disease.

Biopharmaceutics Applications in Drug Development

May 9, 2010 By biotech-source.com Leave a Comment

Product Description

In the last two decades, the discipline of biopharmaceutics has undergone considerable advances, particularly with regard to bioavailability and bioequivalence as they relate to product quality and regulatory standards of approval. Textbooks in the field have not been able to keep up with the growth of current and emerging applications of regulatory aspects of biopharmaceutics.

Biopharmaceutics Applications in Drug Development fills this gap. This book introduces fundamental concepts, methods, and advances in the areas of dissolution, absorption, and permeability and their key applications in dosage form performance. Case studies are used to discuss the applications of biopharmaceutic strategies in the development of successful drugs, with a specific focus on the applications of biopharmaceutic strategies in the development of successful drugs. The book presents an integrated view in linking pharmaceutic to the biological consequences of drug products and leverages those for decision making in drug development.
